Do-It-Yourself Fence Post Anchor

Do-It-Yourself Fence Post Anchor FENCING Miscellaneous 28-4-41 Most farmers and ranchers have a generous supply of the main raw material needed for this do-it-yourself fence post anchor. You simply weld together two worn out sweeps, putting the mounting shanks together, and then weld on a 3 to 4-ft. length of concrete re-bar or other metal rod. I prefer re-bar because it's easy to bend into a loop at the end for fastening wire from it to the post. Bury the device so that the loop is sticking out of the ground at an angle toward the post. One of the sweeps will keep it from pulling it up, and the other will keep it from pulling toward the post, making a substantial long lasting anchor which will far outlast anything that I have seen on the market.
